It’s great to see the defence coming together . A keeper and 3 first choice defenders . Well done on that side . Next job midfield

Me and lads discussed before that longelo maybe better further up park so could be a williams-longelo partnership but Wilson did look a lot fitter

Having 2 left backs in the squad might be a new, bold experiment from Alfred. (Of course, Wilson might be second choice, but I suspect he might be out on loan again soon).

Watt was playing for Burton Albion at the same time as Williams. I wonder if he shared some inside info.

Williams is a left-back and looks set to be first choice, given his experience and the fact we paid a fee for him. That suggests either Longelo is on his way out, or he’ll be pushed into a more advanced role on the left.

TBF Wilson looked fitter than most against Genk. Wouldn’t have a problem him being a back up at moment to, as you suggest, allow Longelo to move forward.

I had just assumed he was Welsh but apparently not

Longelo was injured for last Friday based on the manager update so hopefully not. Although listed as left back presumably could play right and allow Tom S to move forward not perfect but another option

Hmmmm wouldnt shock me if Longelo departing is on the cards aswell hope not and would like to see him pushed further forward. Ewan Wilson as back up should Longelo go is not where I pictured us this season at all.

Good to get another one in. Just hope it doesn't mean longelo going

Looks a promising signing, a former Derby county Academy player, 52 apperances for Burton in league 1, as always time will tell.

Apparently his main position is left back. Competition and backup for Longello.

Dylan Williams

A new build Stadium is £20/£25 million for a basic build. There is no scenario I can see that we can fund that.

I think we'll win the second leg against HB. What we do in the first leg is they key.

Nah. I’ll take my chances and go to Helsinki anyway

As someone who normally reads absolutely zero into pre-season friendlies, I have a similar feeling. To be honest, I don't even mind if our mindset is now to use our transfer hoard to strengthen the squad over the next few weeks at the risk of being papped out of Europe early again. But I'm going into the HB tie with zero expectation of success, at this point.

Just a wee travel update for Thurs. Airbles road shut at roundabout just past airbles train station to roundabout at elim for o think 5 days. Can imagine traffic will be really busy for those driving

Dont think we need to owe anyone or answer to anyone (other than the bank) if we move to Ravenscraig. But we will need the co-operation of the local authority and other partner agencies if we are building new. Clearly a new purpose built stadium to see us into the future would be beneficial for all sorts of reasons, but it doesnt necessarily mean it is going to happen. One of the biggest obstructions is that local authoritues dont have any money for redevelopment of town centres and with the hit to the high street after Covid, Im not sure a new shopping/leisure development is even feasible anymore. It might be that remaining at Fir Park is the only feasible option right now.

100%...

Not expecting Coleraine to get into the next round, then?

These others will not have Motherwell FC at the heart of any decision making. Self interest and making money is the whole story. The Americans,for example that have put money into Scottish Clubs will pull the plug when they have made enough money or lost enough of it. The Clubs are just a vehicle to making money. Staying at FP means we won't owe or answer to anyone.

Which way is the Motherwell end .

I think thats the minimum allocation as required by UEFA. Hopefully the club can negotiate enough to fulfill demand. I see the club are advertising dates TBC. Does who beats who decide the seeding? It all seems a bit mental having the draw before tge games are played, if it doesnt benefit by way of planning & preparation.

If wrong change your name to magoo 🤣
